through without errors, but now when I try to launch eclipse i get: "No fonts found, this propably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf"

I have fonts installed,

Any ideas how to get this working ?

Isn''t there a "setfontsdir" script in the fc_2.1/fontconfig directory?

Hi again, I played around some more to try and recreate the error, and I somehow got a fix for you. Don't ask me how or why, these are the steps I took. I did recreate the problem with the message appearing "you may need to edits the fonts.conf".

1. Made a ".fonts.conf" in my homedir containing:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype</dir> </fontconfig>

2. Went to the fcpackage.2_1 source directory, and as root ran the 2 scripts "fc-cache" and "fc-list".

Then when I started my app (Pan-13.3) I didn't get the error and had Truetype fonts. :-)

I guess before the problem got solved for me, because yast2 went and reinstalled the older versions of the glib2 and gtk2 in /usr/lib, while I thought I was using the 2.2 versions installed in /usr/local/lib.

Anyways when I removed the libs from /usr/lib to force using the 2.2 versions, I got the "fonts.conf error" until I did the above steps.

HTH

Hi Those scripts did the trick for me. Thanks alot. If this list would have same system than forums.java.sun.com, I'd award you with bag full of duke dollars :-) P_
